Services
Preventative Care
Our comprehensive wellness exams include physical assessments, vaccinations, and parasite prevention tailored to each pet's life stage. We use body condition scoring and diagnostic screening to create customized health plans. Regular checkups help detect early signs of disease in dogs, cats, and exotic pets.
Diagnostic Lab
In-house diagnostics enable rapid bloodwork, urinalysis, and parasite identification while maintaining partnerships with specialty labs for advanced testing. Our Vimago HDVI imaging system provides 3D anatomical visualization with minimal radiation exposure for accurate diagnoses.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser treatments reduce inflammation and promote healing for arthritis, injuries, and post-surgical recovery. This non-invasive therapy targets deep tissues using cold laser technology to accelerate natural healing processes without medication side effects.
Dentistry
We perform anesthetized dental cleanings with digital X-rays to address subgingival issues. Our services include extractions, fracture repairs, and tartar removal using modern equipment to maintain oral health and prevent systemic complications.
Surgery
Our surgical suite handles routine and complex procedures with pre-anesthetic bloodwork and continuous monitoring. Services include soft tissue surgeries, orthopedic repairs, and emergency interventions following AAHA standards for patient safety and post-operative care.
